Book Distribution in Birmingham England

The first amazing event I will describe took place when I went out to distribute books and Ratha yatra leaflets. I went first to my favourite street to give a leaflet to Ashok, a nice Indian gentleman who lives at a house with the number 108. I visit him when I can, because he bought many books from me and he is favourable and his auspicious house number makes my day auspicious. After visiting him, I was wondering where Krishna would...

Cruising Back to Godhead

I was doing books at the ferry terminal, where a cruise ship was docked for a day. While distributing something got in my eye and made it terribly itchy.

A Revelation Right Next Door

Last night it was hot and uncomfortable indoors, so I took my two-year-old son, Vitthal Bhakta, for a walk. I had my japa beads and was softly chanting. My son was tired, so we had a leisurely stroll without any major interactions except when he wanted to pick up a stick and walk with it. He was quietly observing. He poked the stick here and there. As we reached closer to home, my son, very tired by now, insisted on being picked up....
